Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP This or That Cards with Nature's Prints

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, berry burst.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen berry burst, coastal cabana and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with. 

I have made a fractured/faux shutter card for todays Berry Burst blog hop. I started off with the happy birthday card and wasn't loving it (I think because it was so white with the strips and the centre panel) so I made a second version and added in coastal cabana strips and a daffodil delight matt and love that so much more. I think it pops and adds the wow I was wanting. I didn't want to pull apart the first card and ruin it and be left with no card so I thought you may like to see a little of my crafting thinking process of how when it doesn't quite work for me the first time round, how I add to a card (or in this card re do the entire card) till I am happy with it. 
I used Masterfully Made DSP and the floral image is from Nature's Prints stamp set. I coloured the flower in with daffodil delight stampin' blends and used a retired coastal cabana resin dot in the centre of the flower. The sentiment is stamped on a banner from Gorgeously Made dies. 

This or that? Which do you like better?


Inside card - cards are the same inside 


With envelope - envelopes are the same so I only photographed with my preferred card

I definitely love the Coastal Cabana version, Ros, it is stunning. It was so great to see you in person on Saturday, too.

[Tina Gillespie]

I agree, Ros - the card needed the pop of colour around the flower panel. Coastal Cabana was a great choice.

[CHRISTINE BLAIN]

Because the background paper is so busy, I rather like the white-framed focal image. I can see why you prefer the contrast of the other card, though. Both great designs, Ros.

[Theresa Gerrard]

Oh it's hard to pick which of the versions I prefer Ros as each is lovely. who would have thought that Coastal Cabana would look so good with Berry Burst but then I also like the crispness of the white, so I can't choose. You really have the ability to turn a challenging colour combo into a lovely creations Ros.

[Kate Morgan]

Yes, Ros, I think you are right. The one with Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry is more contrasting and with your 'sponging', adds the Ros factor!
I wonder if you added some colour sponging on the white strips, would it have added a wow?!!!

[Amie]

Yep, Coastal Cabana is my favourite too. Great technique.

[Rachel Palmieri]

Coastal Cabana gets my vote too, but I tend to like brights. It's sometimes fun to experiment.
